g-dawg Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 it does not seem like a deal is going down tonite......hope I'm wrong.....if Falcons want Michael Turner - they better not let him leave the A-T-L without a contract. I predict if Turner gets on plane w/o a signed contract - we will have lost him......hope it does not happen.good news is: I am not really hearing a whole of chatter about Michael Turner going anywhere else.....

g-dawg Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 don't you say that Legion! I never want to hear you say the words "Matt Ryan" again.....even if your sons have those names:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubletrouble21 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If we sign Michael Turner and Maurice Williams I will praise ANY move the FO makes here on after they're signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpjumper Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Double, if I could figure out a way to get cutting edge news and charge people, I would try to do that cellular service...heh.

Southern_Candy Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 No, most are happy I think. I know I am, I like it quiet and not signing the splash players. Run the ball and stop the run, someone smarter than myself said. Anyway, I like Turner and hope it works out. If it doesn't, there are plenty of running backs.You are just hearing a very ignorant vocal minority on here. You can always tell, they TYPE IN ALL CAPS. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozenfew Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I don't understand why its in vogue to want to sign Michael turner to a big contract and not draft DMC at #3. There is no difference. Why not go for a a OL in free agency? or DT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov1playa630 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 b/c turner is more of the power back that we are looking for. look at his tribute video on youtube that man trucks people. i mean trucks people!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozenfew Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I feel turner's numbers and success may be a biproduct of LT terrorizing defenders, LT would wear them down for 5 plays then turner would come into the game and look like a track star... Now If you think Turner is going do for jerious what LT did for him, then I can understand the logic. IMO I'd rather have that money invested into Mcfadden or Mendenhall then Turner. I just think Turners success is a bi product of the situations he was put into games in. He is slighty overated, which means he'll get a bigger payday then I want to give up.

More than likely, even with big free agent money Michael Turner will still be cheaper than McFadden - slightly!I disagree about Turner being overrated - think he will be a "STAR" - so does Mark Schlereth - he said he would be a pro-bowler NEXT year! Speed and Power - just think a "faster version" of the old Falcons RB - Jamaal Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelgee Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Michael Turner is the BRUISER, with GREAT SPEED, that we have always lacked.His YouTube Tribute video says it all. One man RARELY stops Michael Turner.Low center of gravity, amazing power, great speed.ATL will have their new face in Mike Turner.The dome will be full & rocking when we field 32 & 33 in the backfield!
